I think the search engines are really overstepping here. Wasn't there a legal test case about this a few years ago? About linking to the meat of a site's content, and bypassing advertisements and age checks? I seem to remember Microsoft was in the middle of it?

I don't know if anything can be done now, but this is hurting our business, and we need to collectively step forward and make our position heard before it gets worse.
